Foals

Rocket I and friend 2005

Rodioso's first foal crop arrived in the USA in 2002. He stamps them all with his wonderful temperament, fluid gaits and exceptional neck and shoulders. The youngsters that are now coming under saddle show excellent ride-ability and willingness to work and please.

Foals of 2009

Kovach filly

Filly foaled May 3, 2009 this lovely bay filly is out of the Thoroughbred mare Reel Proper (Reel on Reel) and of course is by Rodioso. She is very correct and full of spunk we are told. A special thanks to Holly Kovach of Michigan, the owner/breeder as this was a breeding bought from the GOV at their 2008 stallion service auction. Support of our breeding programs like this is always welcome!

Rebar

Colt foaled May 16, 2009 is out of the Oldenburg mare Walentine (Weisswein) and is her second by Rodioso. This stout fellow is one of the friendliest foals on the farm and a great mover. We hope he stays this lovely color. He is very correct with wonderful bone. He was recently purchased by Kaye Olexa of Gainesville, GA.
